Diving Safety Questions

[Stephen C Jameson]

Dear Coral List,


With respect to Australia could anyone tell me:

1.  Are diving centers licensed by the government in any way?

2.  Are there any government established diving regulations of any kind?

3.  Are there government safety regulations for passenger (diving) 
vessels?

4.  Does the government require passenger (diving) vessels to have 
property and liability insurance? 

5.  Does the GBRMP regulate any of the above in their park regulations?

Short answers are fine (even just yes or no).  

If you can't answer these - could you please send me the email adddress 
of someone who could? 

Thanks for your assistance. 

Best regards,
